YMJ's Green Plum Chilli Paste is a unique premium product. It is the only chilli paste in all of Australia, Korea, or any other country that uses 100% Australian chilli powder. Chilli powder made from red chillis farmed in Australia are not only very very expensive, but also in very short supply. Many hardcore Korean kimchi makers reserve their portion of Australian chilli powder with the chilli farmers months in advance.
It is a well known sad truth amongst Korean foodies that the mass produced commercial chilli paste contains very little (if any!) real chilli powder. It's main ingredients are a paste of flour, artificial flavours, colors and capsaicin for the chilli effect. Genuine chilli powder is generally so expensive that companies cannot maintain a profit margin. At best, it is made from a cheap version of chilli powder imported from overseas where its real quality cannot be verified.
YMJ keeps our promise to our customers to use only the best quality Australian ingredients. Our Green Plum Chilli Paste is a premium product that is made with chilli powder from chillis farmed in Sydney. Not only this, we have added our very own green plum extract rather than water, we have added premium quality fish sauce rather than salt, and we have added our signature fermented soybeans rather than the inferior quality imported soybean powder.
The result is a rich, velvety red chilli powder with a subtle tang of plum.
